The healthcare industry is under constant pressure to do more with less. As technology advances the future of digital healthcare continues to get more and more congested. Every time one turns around, there is a new digital health solution that has popped up. The key feature that hospitals and healthcare centers seek is that the solution should be easy to use, adapt and most importantly it should work efficiently. Digital solutions must build sustainable trust with its users by helping them in doing their job efficiently, and not hinder them.
One such platform that helps the hospitals ease their workload effectively is Intelligent Locations. Founded by Bogdan Nedelcu, in 2015, the company is a cloud-based, end to end Real-Time Location Services (RLTS) provider, working exclusively for the healthcare industry. What started as an idea on a single piece of paper, is now a leading digital healthcare service provider. Intelligent Locations started with a proof of concept pilot with its first hospital partner; once it proved successful the company scaled up and launched out its RTLS Platform.
The platform allows hospitals to achieve smart operations and is a one-stop shop for its users, including everything from hardware installation to end-user analytics. The speedy installation of its system is the key feature of Intelligent Locations. It leverages the RTLS network to track everything from equipment, people, and environmental conditions. Using this platform, its clients can easily add new functionality or use cases as problems are identified.
Intelligent Locations is acknowledged as a top innovative digital health company. Listening to its clients biggest (and smallest) problems has allowed the company to stay ahead of its competition and constantly evolve its IoT platform to solve them. It is focused on adding value to its clients, every chance it gets and the company believes that will keep it at the forefront of digital health innovation.
The Consummate Leader
Currently, Bogdan Nedelcu is the CEO of Intelligent Locations. He has received a Degree in Physics, while studying in France after which he started his career working with various companies. Upon graduation, he began his career with Motorola in their Networks division, developing cellular networks working in seven countries. His journey with the company lasted over a period of fifteen years, during which his role grew from an engineer to the management of the product life cycle and business development of the entire product platform. After his successful stint with Motorola, Bogdan started working at a Silicon Valley startup to manage a product realization for a big data analytics platform; and then spent a few years working for major technology companies in both mobility and embedded electronics. He founded Intelligent Locations to disrupt the current status quo in the Real-Time Location Services space by using newly available technology like cloud computing and Bluetooth low energy. He uses his valuable experience to achieve outstanding tasks and operation for Intelligent Locations.
Providing Intelligent Solutions through RTLS platform
Intelligent Locations offers the most cost-efficient, a healthcare-focused, Real-Time Location Services (RTLS) platform in the market. The robust RTLS platform is at the core, that the hospitals can use to track the location and status of any moveable piece of equipment or person. Unlike legacy RTLS technologies, Intelligent Locations does not require an upfront installation fee; this allows their clients to immediately realize their return on investment.
Intelligent Locations’ cloud-based solution can easily be deployed throughout the entire healthcare systems and used by many departments including nursing, hospital administration, clinical engineering and others. Once its solution is installed the company can easily layer on services like asset tracking, patient tracking, staff tracking, special equipment monitoring, way-finding and bed management. This helps identify bottlenecks and streamline process and procedure. There are many other use cases it can accomplish and always puts a present and future plan together with their clients. This allows it to add an unmet value to its customers.
Testing new and exciting technologies is vital and helps Intelligent Locations grow and innovate. The large chunks of data that is generated by the platform can further be leveraged to make better and informed decisions. The company has always paid a lot of attention towards analytics and machine learning so that the data generated can be put to good use by its business intelligence software. Intelligent Locations helps hospitals and surgical centers, to make informed decisions and standardize healthcare, ultimately driving down the total healthcare cost.
Outlook into the Future of Intelligent Locations
The company is persistently looking forward towards leveraging its technology, to provide an added use. A huge differentiator of Intelligent Locations’ technology, that sets it above the rest, is being able to easily facilitate additional use cases within the initial hardware installation. The consultative approach of the company is a key aspect that its clients like. Intelligent Locations work alongside its clients to seek and solve problems and bring additional value to its client’s investment.
Currently, its platform uses BLE technology, but Intelligent Locations platform can use any radio frequency for location services, such as ultra-wideband, LoRa and other radio frequency technologies. This helps it to make the hospitals investment in the technology future proof. Also, the company is opening a new Center of Excellence in Paris to enhance their capabilities on predictive analytics and machine learning.
